Abstract

The $b$-axis dielectric anomaly at the commensurate-incommensurate phase-transition temperature in BaMn${\mathrm{F}}_{4}$ has been calculated. Its shape and magnitude agree with the data of Samara and Richards. The $a$-axis anomaly below ${T}_{N}$ is also explained; its shape and magnitude are due to the canting of Mn spins. It is a first-order effect and \ensuremath{\sim} ${10}^{5}$ larger than in Rado's second-order theory for ${\mathrm{Cr}}_{2}$${\mathrm{O}}_{3}$.
